English-Speaking Property Management in Nara

Property management in Nara — FAQ

If I rebuild or extend my Nara house, will there be an archaeological check?

Much of Nara sits on or near known buried cultural properties, and digging in those areas needs advance notification and can lead to a survey before construction. We check with the local board of education early so it is built into the schedule, rather than discovered once a contractor is booked.

Can you look after a house deep in the Yoshino or Totsukawa mountains?

Yes, though southern Nara is steep, heavily forested and far from the train lines, so visits take planning. Mountain homes face heavy rain, landslide risk on slopes and colder winters, and we focus on drainage, roof leaks and frozen pipes accordingly.

My parents' house is in a commuter town like Ikoma or Kashihara. Is it easy to rent out?

Northern and western Nara are within commuting range of Osaka and Kyoto, so family homes there can attract long-term tenants. We help you judge what work the house needs before renting, get quotes for your approval, and manage tenants once it is let.

How much does property management in Nara cost?

Plans run from ¥14,000 to ¥42,000 per month depending on how often we visit — quarterly, every other month, or monthly. The right cadence depends on your Nara property's type, age, and condition. Rental management is 5% of rent, and renovation is quoted separately.
